The first is hilariously, horribly perfect (poor Sheridan, he always thinks he's doing the right thing right when he does the absolute worst thing possible...), and how is it that I've never thought of exactly how terrifying and awesome Delenn would be while heavily pregnant? That's, like... yes, a goddess - but one of the ones you really don't want to screw around with. Or even cross paths with. At all.
David's terror of baseball players is absolutely perfect to the way kids' minds work (I have a friend who, for complicated reasons involving parents with a habit of flipping channels, spent a good part of her life actively terrified of "Fiddler on the Roof." She mixed it up with "Alien" in her mind somehow....), and I love Sheridan's efforts to explain Halloween in a way that makes any kind of sense to Delenn and David. And David getting so into being a Warrior, and attacking poor Herrenn's knees. So the child of both his parents. ♥
A month later, he asked David if he wanted to try making cookies with his dad. David stared at him balefully, then crawled into Delenn’s lap and wouldn’t talk to him the rest of the day.
*Cackles* Oh, poor Sheridan. That is so totally perfect.
“I am Commander David Sheridan! I order you to surrender your ship!”
Eeeeeeeeeee. Bless! That's just the most adorable mental image ever.

Best lunch-time thing EVER. ♥
